Re: FarCry Mini Video Tutorials

I think having some short tutorials on the fundamentals would help:

- How to create custom types
- The best way(s) to read data (e.g. getMultiple vs getMultipleByQuery
vs getData?)
- How to create and save data programmatically
- Little-known shortcuts

And then some more advanced perhaps:

- Customising administration (layout, style, nav etc)
- Creating a website from scratch
- Integration with external systems (eg. LDAP, Web Services)

I guess anyone could fill in the blanks given a good foundation.

That might be more than a few minutes :)  But in essence you create a
content type or identify the content type you are migrating to.  Then
you run a query to gather all your legacy data, loop over a .cfm
template that converts the row into a struct and runs createData() on
your content type.

Now this I could do.  I think the current doco is missing a reference
to the Picnik api key you need to place in the
application.stplugins.farcrypicnik scope.
